Help with new speakers

I have some hearing loss and need some help with speakers that do voices real well, so far I have liked Vienna Acoustics Beethoven, Sonus Faber Amator II, but would like a little more detail in the midrange. My price range is about 5k or less.

The ATC Active 20. ATC is in ~60% of the recording studios in the world. I bought 3 ATC 100's and couldn't be happier. ATC's system took home Stereophile's best system for 2001. One quote is "Best system at any price". Check them out. www.atc.gb.net

They're from britian. The only US dealer that I know of is in Denver, Colorado.

I have Thiel 3.6's, which do midrange really well, but need lots of power. I just heard Von Schweikert VR-4's and thought they do voices amazingly well and are more efficient (89db vs 86db for the Thiels).

You MUST check into Silverline Sonatas. Fantastic mids, great imageing(sp) works well with tube or SS. Retails for 6k but I've seen them for less on Agon. The Mkll has 2 woofers and offers better bass than Mkl but that's the only sound difference.
